"Will you have more?"

It's funny the mom instincts that come when you are given a child ...each month I have something new God lays on my heart that I need to work on within all my children's needs. It's a never ending journey and always a work in progress.

Life is rushing passed us and I'm trying to stop and enjoy but hard to do some days. Our thanksgiving was refreshing to get away to the cool crisp mountains and enjoy the beauty all around us. For me, I'm a mountain girl... I just feel so close to God when I'm up in the trees looking down on his beautiful creation. I could live there forever! I know heaven for me will be a taste of the feeling I get when I'm there.

Behind these beautiful professional looking pictures is real life .. yes, it's hard raising 4 individual children, harder than I could have ever imagined. All their personalities and needs are so different but I know I'm going to try my hardest to give it my all and hopefully with Gods help they will turn out to be lovers of Jesus and love the life they have been given here.

Most days I feel like the picture below ...

But know I am given grace and strength by the one that created me! The next day I pick up and try my hardest to do it better than the day before.

One question I get asked a lot is "Will you have more?" I say I don't know... only God does. But, for the 1st time in my life my heart is overflowing and a huge wave of contentment overflows my heart... a feeling I have never felt before.
